We describe the wingless viviparae and sexual forms of A phis carverae sp. nov., a new endemic species of A phis   L innaeus, 1758 from A ustralia. The species is holocyclic and monoecious on Epilobium (Onagraceae). No winged individuals have been found. C asimira canberrae ( E astop, 1961) is another endemic aphidine species from E pilobium . We describe the winged viviparous and wingless sexual female morphs of this aphid, which is also shown to be holocyclic and monoecious. Native aphids feeding on O nagraceae in A ustralia are under serious competitive threat from the recently introduced A phis oenotherae   O estlund, 1887.
